The Journey Inward

I have an opportunity,
It was delivered to me today. 
I think I will accept it,
And put the process into play. 

For it seems to me the Universe, 
Conjured, created and aligned, 
Just so I could explore the thing, 
And see what I could find 

I’ve always been so curious, 
It’s been a hazy dream. 
But maybe now the time has come, 
To birth this blissful scheme. 

I’ve done the things I was "supposed" to do, 
Conventionally living my life. 
Daughter, wife, teacher, mother, 
Never wanting to cause worry or strife. 

What if this is my time to bask,
To live my life for me? 
Not to be selfish or rebel,
But to catapult with glee?

I said yes, I barely paused,
So honored to be invited. 
I made a commitment to myself, 
I’m nervous, and also excited!

After six days there, I think I’ll know,
If this was meant to be. 
And if it is, the planning starts, 
To allow for the alchemy.

Till then, I’ll breathe and let it be, 
Let bridges form and weave. 
Put Higher Power in charge of it, 
And see if I’m beckoned to proceed.
